What’s wrong with legal immigration? You don’t think legal immigration of high tech skilled workers is contributing to 20 million additional food stamp users dice Obama started, do you? Or that it’s they who are producing a $18,000,000,000.00 growing debt our kids are getting strapped with?

Cruz:

“There is overwhelming bipartisan support outside of Washington that we need to finally secure our borders, enforce our laws, and stop the problem of illegal immigration...But that’s not going to happen as long as the president is ordering Border Patrol officers not to enforce the law.” SOURCE

Cruz:

“Republicans in Congress should use every tool at our disposal—our constitutional checks and balances—to stop President Obama’s amnesty...both Houses should use the power of the purse, which the Framers understood to be the most potent tool Congress has to rein in an out-of-control Executive.” SOURCE

First off, I don’t know of a better POTUS candidate currently running on the immigration issue. Cruz has been consistent in his opposition to rewarding those who break our laws and the need to secure the borders. But what he has said and he’s not wavered from this position is we do need to reform and streamline our LEGAL immigration system.

I have an Asian wife that legally immigrated here and I also adopted a daughter from the Philippines, and I can attest first hand to how screwed up our current legal immigration system is. In fact, I ended up living in the Philippines almost 5 years just to bring our daughter here legally.

Also, there is a need for more skilled workers particularly in the tech and health care sectors, and we ought to be making it easier not more difficult for those types of immigrants to come in.

I believe this is all Cruz is saying, and even if you disagree with it, I think it’s a reasonable position and at least he’s been CONSISTENT in what he’s said, so you know when he says something you can actually believe that he means it — unlike some other candidates out there...

Yes we are the greatest country in the world. Why are we letting the sewage waste of every other country flow downhill to us?

We need to be letting the best and brightest in. You know, the people who will hold down a job and not need an EBT card. They will educate and socialize their children to be normal Americans. I would like to see a flood of new legal immigration from civilized western countries. We need to completely halt all Muslim immigration. And encourage the ones here to leave.

Is that question a distraction to make folks ignore the fact that he's the most conservative candidate we have and to help the Left retain the WH?
